ABOUT NEWBARD FARM
Welcome to Newbard Farm, a family-run establishment that is proudly situated in the beautiful heart of Lismore. At our farm, we expertly blend time-honoured farming traditions with innovative sustainable practices, showcasing our commitment to both heritage and progress. A significant aspect of our operations is our specialisation in heritage pig breeds, which highlights our dedication to ethical farming.
We work with exceptional breeds, including the Oxford Sandy & Black sows, the Tamworth-OSB boar, and the recently introduced Berkshire. Each of these breeds not only represents our high standards of animal welfare but also our commitment to sustainable agriculture. As passionate and active participants in the One Well Pig Project, we remain steadfast in our mission to advance pig while promoting sustainable farming practices that positively impact both the animals and the environment.
Our collaborations with Teagasc specialists and researchers provide us with invaluable insights as we explore various dimensions of our outdoor-raised pigs, including their health, behaviour, and dietary habits. We take pride in our partnership with specialists and students from University College Dublin (UCD), who diligently monitor the growth and meat quality of piglets derived from our carefully selected OSB sows. This collaborative effort reflects our commitment to quality and excellence in our farming practices.
Beyond our successful initiatives in pig farming, we are also dedicated to raising sheep and chickens, which greatly enriches the vibrant ecosystem of our farm. Our commitment to diversity extends to cultivating a thriving vegetable garden and a flourishing fruit orchard, where we grow a wide variety of delicious fruits that we reserve exclusively for our family and friends.
